Get cooking

Fold 4 thin pancakes into quarters and sprinkle with sugar.
Melt a knob of butter in the pan.
Place the 4 pancakes in the pan, sugared side down. Keep the heat fairly high so the sugar caramelises.
Sprinkle the tops with sugar and turn the pancakes over.
Pour the liqueur over the pancakes and flambé.
Once the flames have died down, add the orange juice and let it simmer briefly.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
